Tattoo You

Tattoo You See the lady dressed in ink Colorful lady makes me think Under that dress revels a trace Transparent beauty through the lace On her neck a dove of peace Two loving hands aiding release Where it goes when it's free Only the too'd can truly see Over the shoulder across her chest Past a strap then down the rest Flowing with grace along her arm An artful talent designed to charm Undoing a bra sleek and trim Her tat's undress is not for him But for her the mirror reflects A modern tat without regrets Moving with grace reaching... flash An act some say may be brash On the contrary it's about liberation Tat's and flash a changed generation

This is an excellent write and very liberating. And I like the insinuation of what rhymes with 'tattoo you', which I am not supposed to spell out on this site. I do not have a tattoo (yet?), but my generation's liberation were long hair and torn jeans, with ink pen doodles adorned when it was too boring in school...
